Using Sundering Growth on One's Own Wurmcoil Engine
Asked by DemonDragonJ 3 years ago
If a player controls a Wurmcoil Engine and targets it with a Sundering Growth, can they immediately copy one of the wurm tokens with the populate ability of the spell, or will the spell resolve before the tokens are generated?

Rhadamanthus, thank you very much; I am glad to know that, if I ever build a deck that focuses on the populate mechanic.

The tokens can't be populated with the same Sundering Growth that destroyed the Wurmcoil Engine. The Engine's trigger has to wait until Sundering Growth is completely finished resolving in order to be put onto the stack. The tokens won't exist yet when it's time to populate.
